This unique city of culture and history enjoys a mixture of quaint old charm, futuristic architecture and friendly people.

See the fishing harbour, Parliament buildings, City Hall, National Museum, National Gallery and the huge hot water storage tanks, known as The Pearl, which have a restaurant above offering fantastic views.
